Solid Carbon Dioxide Lab: The Dry Ice Lab
Purpose: Observe the properties of carbon dioxide. Discover what happens when carbon dioxide mixes with water. Record a neutralization reaction.
Write an INTRODUCTION to your lab report summarizing the properities of CO2 . Write this in paragraph form and include at least 5 properties of dry ice
Materials: Dry ice, universal indicator, sodium hydroxide, water. Caution: ice is -73 celsius and may cause skin damage if it is touched. Sodium hydroxide is corrosive. Universal indicator is poisonous. Use appropriate eyewear. Wash hands with soap after the lab is over.
Safety precautions: write the safety precautions for this lab as reviewed in class
Procedure: Follow the procedure and write your observations:
Properties of carbon dioxide:
1. Place a nugget of ice on the table and bat it around with your hands. It'll start to slide around
2. Place a nugget of ice on the table and put a coin on it. Breathe on the coin.
3. Place a nugget of ice in a puddle of water
4. Rate of Reaction: Put ice in a flask of cold water. Now use hot water.
5. Neutralization: Put on your goggles: place a dropperful of sodium hydroxide in a flask of water and another dropperful of universal indicator. Drop a nugget of ice in the water. Observe the reaction.
Conclusions: write down your conclusions on the properties of Carbon Dioxide. Include at least 10 things you observed and learned about DRY ICE INCLUDING THE neutralization reaction. include all equations that were demonstrated

spot plate lab
Do an experiment with some unknown chemicals. Write up your experiment in a lab report. Use your knowledge from the Acids and Bases notes to deduce what happened during our little magic trick. Write up your experiment. You will include data from spot plate labs
LAB REPORT
Purpose: To do some experiments and deduce how the teacher did the magic trick
procedure:
1. Observe the magic trick: describe it in great detail in point form
2. Devise an experiment with the spot plates to determine as much information as you can about the two liquids: "white wine" and "red wine". Describe your experiment in point form.
3. Write your observations.
RESULTS:
DRAW A PICTURE to show your results.
CONCLUSION
Tell me your best hypothesis on how I might have done that magic trick. Use evidence from your experiment. Conclusion=1 mark. Evidence=10 marks.

Introduction to chemistry
An analogy for Atoms, Compounds and Formula, drawn by SN This video is the first in the series for beginner Chemistry. In this video, I use the analogy of the atom as units very much like "lego bricks". This analogy was first used by researchers in MIT.

MAKE A POSTER SHOWING SUMMARY OF ALL THE RULES
and have a look at this standard science safety quiz
WHMIS - WORKPLACE HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS INFORMATION
SYSTEM
THESE symbols are on the MSDS sheet for
all chemicals Materials safety Data Sheet.
THESE ARE MY SCIENCE SAFETY RULES:
1. Follow teacher instructions
You will create safety rules by reading and summarizing the safety procedures in your poster
The rules can be under the following categories:
HIGHEST PRIORITIES:
THESE RULES CAN BE SUMMED UP LIKE THIS
Talk to the instructor
KEEP ORGANIZED AND SAFE
Keep the classroom safe
Keeping your work area safe
Keep safe with your colleagues
Keep yourself safe
KNOW THE SYMBOLS
Know the correct symbols, WHIMIS symbols
COMMUNICATE AND REACT TO AN EMERGENCY
be familiar with emergency procedures for fire, toxins, spills, and evacuation
SAFETY ASSIGNMENT: . Make a poster of the safety rules

Find the average velocity of skytrain
![]() |
| <--------> one section of fence can be used to help estimate the displacement. |
Today we will walk outside to measure the average velocity of skytrain. FInd the length of one section of fence and then multiply that number to establish an initial position and a final position .
Take a video of skytrain and, using screenshots, label the di and the df . Determine the displacement and the elapsed time.
Calculate average velocity = displacement/elapsed time
1. Draw a picture or cartoon which describes the motion of the train. Label the fence, the train and the section of the fence.
2. Write down your data including the di, the df, the displacement and the elapsed time
3. Calculate the velocity and show your work. What is the average velocity in m/s ?
4. convert the velocity from metres per second to km per hour
5. hand in your work on a piece of paper
Evaluation: /20
18-20. Your data is organized in screenshots and drawings on a paper, a word document or jpeg format. Your cartoon describes the motion. Your work is organized and calculations are correct. Your work is exceptional in communicating your data
14-17. Your data is organized in screenshots and drawings on a word document or jpeg format. Your cartoon describes the motion. Your work is organized and calculations are correct. Very well done
10-13. Your data is really good and you make a good start on the assignment. It needs a little more drawing or picture documentation of the data that you are presenting
0-10. This is a good start but it is not complete
